Reader Review:
If you are somewhat lost with Linux, I highly recommend this book to you.
While there is no book that can spell out every minute detail and every
point of Linux, this book does a far better job than most.

I'd give it 5 stars, but the included software is not that great. I doubt
anyone would actually use the CDROM anymore, but then, that's not really the
value behind the book at all. Linux and almost all applications are free on
the Internet anyway.

If you plan to run Linux, and you are having a tough time finding what you
need to know at the Linux Documentation Project (LDP = NOT a well organized
place), this book will certainly lead you in the proper directions. Once you
have general knowledge of a given subject matter, then you can much more
easily find additional information online. But remember, unless you can ask
the right question, you'll never get the right answer.

If you are new to Linux, you will not regret buying this book. Download
RedHat 6.1 from the Internet to have the latest release and forget the
CDROM. However, don't feel that this book is in any way outdated. Most of
the code of the programs you'll use on a day to day basis in Linux is
already years old, and that's often based on software that is sometimes
decades old. Sure, the code is updated, but the commands and command
structure rarely change.

An excellent reference. CDROM should be updated, so think of this one as a
shiny coaster. This is still a good purchase. Only the Linux pros should
skip it... they already know their way around the confusing LDP. They
already KNOW the RIGHT QUESTIONS.
